I don't know if you are like me when I hear the word "SALE". I sort of go into a panic and then I force myself to calm down When I saw on Facebook that there was to be a Toy Expo at the SMX in Mall of Asia, that's exactly what happened. It's never too early to plan and buy for Christmas. If there are sale events in the Metro which can help save you money, then by all means go to them and just be disciplined enough to buy only what your budget requires. I know, it's hard! But if you concentrate on getting what you and your kids want, especially in a grand Toy Sale like the Toy Expo, you'll have more money to spend on additional items.
We certainly spent a long time walking around the whole exhibition area and at the same time, the kids took their time getting their pictures taken at the displays and photo booths. The Ben 10 and Thundercats section had their own photo background which the kids took advantage of. Come to think of it, even Patrick got in on the picture taking :)
So, there was also a Power Rangers display, a small Bumblebee Transformers statue, an Iron Man statue and a Captain America statue.
Naturally, Patrick just had to try out the Gran Turismo on the PS3. It took him a while to get his turn because kids had to be dragged kicking and screaming by impatient parents.
One of the great buys that we got was this Spongebob Tent that we got for Dylan.
Yay! It's Day 1 of the 2019 Toy Con PH !! Toy Con PH will run until June 30th at the SMX Convention Center at the SM Mall of Asia so grab your tickets if you haven't yet!
It's summer and it's time for another car show! This time, we went to the 2017 Trans Sport Show held between April 20-23 at the SMX Convention Center. Patrick actually covered the event for Carmudi, so if you want to see better photos of the cars, check out the article here. The Trans Sport Show's main attraction is the Nostalgic and Contemporary Car Competition but there are other events like the Moto Builds Pilipinas and plenty of automotive after-sales, custom-build services and related businesses to complete the experience.
The Manila International Book Fair is among the many annual events that we look forward to as a family. This year's MIBF is held at the SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia from Sept 14-18, 2016, from 10AM - 8PM. Admission Fees are P20 (Adults) and P15 for Seniors, PWD, and kids below 4 feet. I think Students also get a discount :)
Today, Patrick and I attended the ToyCon 2016 + Poplife Fan Xperience event at Halls 1-4 of the SMX at the SM Mall of Asia. The Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention, shortened to "ToyCon", is now on its 15th year and has partnered with PopLife (makers of the popular Funko Pop figures) and Salt Lake Comic Con producers Dan Farr and Bryan Brandenburg to add another dimension to the event with the highly anticipated "Poplife FanXperience".
